About
I’m Martin Powlette, a Senior iOS engineer with six years of experience building products for Apple platforms that reach millions of users. I strive to deliver high-quality, performant apps that are a joy to use and easy to maintain.
I have a strong background in design and have a range of technical knowledge and skills outside the Apple ecosystem. My latest project is a content heavy, social and time-reactive iOS app built with SwiftUI and UIKit. It is backed by web service that offers an admin panel, powerful search, AI-aided ingestion workflows and realtime syncing.
